While the 300 panoramic feet of river frontage, the 150-foot dock and the pool are eye-popping highlights of the home, the inside also has a lot to offer, including views of the water from every room, a 5,000-square-foot walkout basement, which has a full theater, a pub, a wine cellar, a gym and a spa, and a gourmet kitchen with high-end appliances (pictured above).

This newly built 17,500-square-foot Alpine home is on the market for $13.9 million. The Colonial manor-style mansion, which is on a secluded 2-acre property in the "heart of the Alpine estate section," has 18 rooms, including six bedrooms and nine bathrooms.

The home certainly earns its "refined and sophisticated" tag. A few of those high-end amenities include a banquet-hall-sized dining room that seats 30, a library, a billiards room, a 50-foot indoor pool that has a cathedral ceiling, an indoor basketball court, a 14-seat movie theater, and a state-of-the-art, 800-square-foot gym, according to the listing.

This "opulent" French estate in the exclusive Rio Vista neighborhood in Alpine has been on the market for just over $15 million since September 2017, according to its listing. Situated on 2 gated acres, the 11,117-square-foot home has seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms.

Another newly constructed Alpine mansion is also on the market.

Some other $17.9 million amenities include an indoor pool, a staged theater, a billiards room, a spa room and a five-room master suite.

Are views of Manhattan worth $23 million? Psychiatrist Annamaria Nucci, who owns this Cedar Grove mansion, apparently thinks so.

The 8,648-square-foot home has eight bedrooms and 11 bathrooms.

Even if $23 million may be a stretch for this home compared to other similarly priced homes on this list, the listing gloating that the home is like having New York City in your backyard is no exaggeration.

And you can either experience the world-class view through the massive windows inside the home or from the 87-foot-long pool that sits on a ledge and has an unobstructed view of the skyline.

It's quite possible that no home on this list has had more famous people walk through its doors than this 16,160-square-foot Far Hills home that is listed for $23 million. Names like the Kennedys, the Johnsons and Sammy Davis Jr. all spent time in this historic estate. The home was "built as a luxurious respite for early-century business barons," according to the listing.

The Georgian-style home, which was built in 1923, sits on 95 acres of exclusive Somerset County land and is known as the Cragwood Estate.

Besides the home, the property also comes with a pool house, a five-unit staff apartment building, offices and farm buildings.

If you were curious what type of land a $25 million home sits on, look no further than this one. According to the listing, the property features over $1.5 million of landscaped grounds. On the property is a pool and pool house, an outdoor kitchen, a spa and a gazebo.

There's a little bit of everything on the property and inside the home. Outside, there are over 100 imported trees, a tennis court, an 80,000-galloon oval swimming pool, three outdoor kitchens, and a guest carriage house that has a living room, kitchen and bedroom. That's one part of what nearly $30 million gets you.

The inside of the home, which has six bedrooms and 12-and-a-half bathrooms, does not lack luxury features, either. Throughout the home there are "generously proportioned rooms of unique yet complementary styles," according to the listing, as well as 13 imported fireplaces from Italy and Portugal.
